For all the Ladies with jewelry

[MelodyL]

Girls:

I could never arrange my jewery and find what I wanted to find. I bought jewerly boxes, I bought the roly kit from QVC. My jewerly still got tanged. My bracelets would get tangled with my necklaces.

And forget about pairing up all my earrings. I'd lose one or the other.

Well, I saw something similar to this on the internet and it was $40.00

So I just went and made my own. Bought a piece of lace for .75cents

I already had the hangar and the glue gun.

Get a load of this!!! SOMEBODY BETTER LIKE THIS, or I don't know you ladies!!

I looked at your yourtube presentation and thought it looked real nice. That was a good idea you had - and it could be hung in the closet so it would be out of the way.

That is a good idea, especially for people without a place for a jewelry box. I have my Mom's old jewelry armoire, and it takes up a lot of space. She had tons of jewelry (more than this can hold!) Mine fits in one drawer plus a few hooks on the side.

I filled the rest of it with miscellaneous stuff.

Something like that would be especially good for traveling!

I also have the rolling thing for traveling and the jewelry pieces still knock around each other in the compartments.

Thanks for the nice words.

I actually made this some time ago, and today I rearranged the stuff I had on it. I wanted better order. Hanging earrings on one side, Earrings with posts on another place on the lace.

You should have seen what a similar thing looked like on ebay and somebody wanted $40. I said to myself "I could make one for under $2.00 and be twice the size. And I took a walk to the fabric store near where I live.

I picked out a pretty piece of lace. I should make it shorter. But the stuff you can put on this thing is amazing. I put more hooks on either side and I have my gold jewelry (necklaces I mean) hanging on one side and the silver stuff on the othr side.

You saw how (on the right side), all my earrings are nicely put. I can't lose any more earrings. That, in itself is a bonus. on the little hook things (on top of the hanger), well I put my rings. I mean, where can you get one BIG thing that you can put ALL your stuff on, keep it in plain sight, etc.

I have it on a hook on the wall. And especially during the warm months when I can just put on a pretty skirt and blouse, and then I look at this thing on the wall and just lift off what I want to wear.

I had two jewerly boxes, each had 3 drawers. I still couldn't keep everything straight, and all my necklaces got tangled. Drove me nuts.

I would patent this if I could but honestly it cost me seventy five cents to whip up.

I think this could be a fun family project on a rainy day. Get the grandkids invovled. Get them to bring in their FUN jewelry. It could teach them to keep their stuff nice and neat and when they grow up, they can make a new one.

I woudn't give this up for all the tea in china. I brought it around the corner and showed my friends and some strangers stopped me in the street once and said "where did you buy that, where can I buy one?" I laughed out loud and said "go and buy some lace and glue it to one of your hangers".

Who says I'm get old and feeble???? lol

Thats a good idea MelodyL. I had some quite expensive necklaces that my DH gave me & they got tangled. Then I didn't know what to do.

[MelodyL]

So get crackin!!!!! Get a hanger, get a piece of lace (it's better because lace has all the tiny holes that you can put the earrings on.

Get out ALL your jewelry. Then get out a glue gun. Fold the lace over the hanger and glue gun it. Then take your hanging jewelry and position it as you prefer. Then get out your earrings and you can put the hoops together on one portion, you can even make a silver portion, a gold portion, a hangy earring portion, a stud portion.

And YOU CREATED IT!! It really takes up no space, and you will have ALL YOUR JEWELRY IN ONE PLACE. Nothing beats this.

Oh, I really hope one of you make your own and take a snapshot and post it on this thread. Wouldn't that be cool. I'm telling you, it took me 10 seconds flat to make this thing.

what a great kids craft project too melody. girl scouts...a craft for a girls birthday party. i'm going to show lil'monkey..who is 13..this when she gets home. i bet her and her friends would love to make one.

right now she uses a 3 hook thing that hangs over her door for necklaces and a piece of metal grid from those snap together shelves to her earings.

[braingonebad]

I love it! I just love it!



I'd put a pocket at the bottom though, for the bracelettes, so I didn't have to unhang it to get them off.

Think of the things you could do with this, if you really wanted to go nuts - you could make it look like a dress, or a teddy, lol. For little girls, you could make it look like a kitten or puppy.

That is too cool.

Thanks for sharing!

This was a great idea, Melody, a friend of mine also came up with a good idea but I have no idea how to post a picture of it.
